Challenging Organized Crime in the Western Hemisphere: A Game of
Moves and Countermoves takes the unusual approach of exploring and
describing how organized crime groups develop their capacities in
response to heightened powers of law enforcement; and how law
enforcement in turn responds, creating an ongoing dynamic
interaction. The book shows how a state, such as the United States,
has and can develop new laws and practices in ways that enable them
to deal with relatively large violent groups-and yet preserve the
rule of law and civil liberties. While most texts describe
organized crime groups and the challenges to government they impose
from a static perspective, the authors dissect the interaction over
time of organized crime and democratic governance that has created
the present structure and balance of advantages in the United
States. Readers learn about the markets for contraband and
extortionate protection that form the bulk of organized criminal
enterprise, the vulnerabilities of the traditional practices and
rules of law enforcement, the effects of globalization of criminal
enterprises on their contest with the state, the effectiveness of
various practices of law enforcement, and the continuing forces of
change, often technological, in the businesses of organized crime
and law enforcement that play important roles in the contest
between them. This thought- provoking book is ideal for students of
organized and transnational crime in university programs and law
schools, as well as researchers and legal practitioners, who seek
to look beyond the simple traditional history of organized crime
and develop a strategy to confront organized crime in the future.
